LINANTHUS grandiflorus (Mountain Phlox)
Linanthus Grandiflorus commonly known as ‘Mountain Phlox’. It is a California native annual that prefers full sun. Plants produce white to lavender flowers. A sweetly scented profusion of white (sometimes flushed lavender) blooms practically smoother the handsome fresh green ferny foliage of this uncommon California native annual. Blooming seems to go forever – from mid-spring to mid-summer at least. Mountain phlox is an excellent choice for beds and borders.
